I purchased this 1935 Ford, in 1980. It has been Street-Rodded and drives like a modern day automobile. A lot of love has entered her life since 1980.

Great car!! but I think the shadow takes away from her true beauty, maybe if you had more sunlight to really bring out the silver and more angle on the awesome grill, thats just my opinion.

Sweet car. I'm afraid the location in partial shadow and sun hurts it a toad. Possible that some additional adjustments could help the car stand out from the shadows a bit.

Your 95K file size also suggests you may have been able to get a little more clarity by using less compression. (I'm a little anal about compression)

you have a pretty good shot here...just a couple of things..the wheel in the front right could have been "stepped out" with a little movement to the left and that movement would have helped with the barn in the background...otherwise an excellent shot...well done

post coming out of hood (clone out) and wire hoop at far left (crop or clone) detracts from a terrific composition.

Lovely car, in tough light. The biggest issue I have with this image is that it shows off the car, but ends up looking like a shot from a want ad. The barn in the background is only half there, so it is more distraction than mood setting. Same with the big wheel (antique bicycle? carriage wheel?) on the left. Had you backed up the car a few steps to get the whole thing in the tree shadow, shifted your POV up to show off the setting, or down to created more dramatic line in the car and cut out the background, this would have been a stronger shot. All the components are here, but they just don't come together as a whole.
